Overwatch’s next Hero isn’t likely to be Doomfist

Blizzard is using an ‘interview’ on its website to tease Overwatch‘s next Hero character… and it’s not Doomfist.

Instead, the shooter’s next character appears to be an 11-year-old inventor named Efi Oladele. She’s recently received a grant from the in-game Adawe Foundation for her “impressive achievements in robotics and artificial intelligence.”

Oladele builds her own drones, so it’s likely her or one of her creations will soon be playable in the title.

We’ll keep you posted as we learn more.

Overwatch is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
